Until It Was Love

She danced for survival—every night, every movement, every dollar thrown at her feet. He watched from the shadows, a man who owned everything except peace. His offer: a gilded cage.

What started as a transaction became something neither expected. This wasn't love… until it was. And now the chains that once trapped her are the only thing keeping him from falling apart.
